A VERY busy day.

This morning.  They came.  They stacked.  They split.  They left.  Somewhere between 7 and 8 cords split and boxed and another cord and ½ or so split and thrown into a heap pile.  THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of the help from so many places.  And while we were outside doing that Annika was inside painting more animals!  Hopefully I can go back and edit this with photos later.  

Then this afternoon we had Sarah’s first birthday party.  More family, presents, food, cake, etc.  Sarah loved it and Rebekah was so wound up with all the energy that she was up and about, directing everybody what to do, “helping” Sarah open presents and even eating a little bit.  Mostly ice cream and frosting off her fingers but it was eating.  Sarah and Rebekah played/worked so well together.  It was awesome.  

I am sorry this is so short but it is VERY sweet.  We are tired as you can imagine.  Tomorrow we pack for another 6-7 days at the hospital.  I just looked at the trailer and it is a disaster area inside so we have lots of cleaning to do before packing.  At least we have a day to do it.  Knock on wood.  Pray for strength and stamina for another day at the hospital.  

And if you have not been there recently, go check out Maggie’s Page.  Pictures of Disney, Rod Stewart and everything!
